Hyundai has launched the new and updated Alcazar in India for a price of Rs 14.99 lakh (ex-showroom). This is the first update for the three-row SUV since its introduction in 2021 and not only carries changes seen in the facelifted Creta but also has some distinct styling changes seen on some international models, additional features inside the completely revamped cabin, and level 2 ADAS hardware.

The Alcazar facelift has undergone major exterior changes and is now in line with the facelifted iteration of the Creta. Up front, it features new H-shaped DRLs, a redesigned vertically-stacked, quad headlamp setup and a revised front bumper. At the rear, the H-shape signature continues for the taillights which are connected via a light bar. The range-topping trim rides on 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. Nine colour options include a new “robust emerald matte” paint scheme.

Refreshed Interior

On the inside, the previous model of the Alcazar was based on the pre-facelifted Creta. On the new model, the twin-cockpit layout gets a more contemporary design, housing the two 10.25-inch displays in a singular bezel atop the dashboard. The air-con vents too have been redesigned, and the air-con controls too are new. The Alcazar facelift continues to be offered in six and seven-seat configurations, with the former providing captain seats in the second row.

Added Features

The refreshed Alcazar model gets a handful of feature additions. These include ventilated seats for the second row and eight-way power-adjustable seats for both the front passenger and driver. For the uninitiated, the previous model’s rear captain seats did not have a ventilation function, and only the driver’s seat was power-adjustable.
